That was good, but I can't help but wonder where the next generation would come from? maybe you were intending to say that the world would be a better place if the human race died off, I probably would not argue with that. In the big scheme of things, we are parasites, a plague, an infection on mother earth.
Sup was right, we are a flawed and "broken" race.
We are fraught with temptations. One of those is sins of the flesh. We have choices to make. Good or bad, righteous or evil, whatever you want to label them.
Often we must choose. Often we make the wrong choice.
The bible tells me that God accepts that we are all sinners. He still loves us when we make the wrong choice, as long as we accept him as our savior and try to repent.
The bible says that God hates the sin, not the sinner. I try to go along with that but I'm not as good at it as I should be.
The bible is very clear about homosexuality. There is no reason for confusion. It states that the act of man lying down with man is a sin, which God finds detestable. We know what was going on in Sodom , much of the same things that are going on today in the world. Some US cities have been copmpared to Sodom, places like San Francisco, West hollywood, Laguna Beach, etc. If you agree with that, fine. if you disagree, fine.
The catholic church practices a wide variety of things, many of which are not in the bible.
If the pope tells them to do something, they do it and it becomes tradition. Not eating meat on friday is one of those traditions. I'm not bagging on them for that, I'm just saying.
My religion is an offshoot of the Catholic religion, Martin Luther was a priest who spoke out against many things the catholic church did way back then. The pope threw him in jail for it.
Basically we believe that if it's not in the Bible, we don't practice or preach it.
Naturally that means that some of my beliefs are at odds with theirs, or maybe it's the other way around.
BTW, elton john publically stated the other day that all religions should be banned.
Typical. A homosexual tells us that we should accept his sins as normal, but we should not be allowed freedom of religion.
I said a prayer for him, and also asked forgiveness for thinking the bad things I thought about him, his lifestyle, and his "ideas".
